Welcome and Introduction - Vice Chairman Rob Collier The meeting was called to order at 12:00 by Vice Chairman Rob Collier as Chairman Dan Mulhern would be joining the meeting late due to a scheduling conflict. He asked everyone to introduce themselves. Mr. Collier thanked Commissioner Donna Niester for hosting the meet~g and she gave an overview of the area and the Great Lakes Maritime Center. Mr. Collier introduced Jim Faulkner, Executive Director of Blue Water Habitat for Humanity. Mr. Faulkner gave an overview of Habitat for Humanity and shared that AmeriCorps members in their organization and across the state have been key in the success of the Habitat for Humanity program. Mr. Faulkner introduced Monica Allison. She is one of the 2005 Signature Service Project Habitat homeowners. She shared her story on how she got involved with Habitat and the difference their home has made on their life. Paula Kaiser VanDam announced that the 2007 Russ Mawby Signature Service Project will take place in Detroit and will again partner with Habitat for Hun1anity. Chairman Mulhern shared that several commissioners were reappointed to serve another term on the Commission. They are Rob Collier, Jimmie Comer, Bernard Parker, Dan Mulhern, Kathy Young-Welch, Mike Thomas, and AI Swain. Janet Lawson is a new appointment, replacing Pam Faris. II. Review and Approval of February 16, 2006 Minutes - Vice Chairman Rob Collier Vice Chairman Collier asked for a motion to approve the minutes from the February 16,2006 board meeting. Commissioner Mawby moved to approve the minutes, Commissioner Colaianne seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously. III. Standing Committee Reports - Vice Chairman Rob Collier A. The Commissioners reviewed Executive Committee Meeting mirlutes from June 8, 2006 and August 18, 2006. Mr. Collier asked for a motion to support the minutes, Commissioner Parker moved to approve the minutes, and Commissioner Colaianne seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously. IV. Executive Director Report I Updates on Progress and Challenges A. AmeriCorps- Paula VanDam explained the background on the Michigan's AmeriCorps Formula Application (see memo dated September 21, 2006 for background) and that the MCSC was originally awarded $2,823,228 to fund new and continuing formula programs. In August the Corporation identified some additional dollars to support additional AmeriCorps members and that states could apply if they had already utilized their initial formula allotment. The MCSC submitted a supplemental request in the amount of$623,311 which would make up the 10% cut that all programs received and would also fund the Charlevoix Emmet Intermediate School District, the only currently existing program that was not originally recommended for 2 �funding. The MCSC was notified that we would receive $426,254 in additional formula funds . The MCSC staff contacted the programs that had taken the 10% cut to see if they could utilize more members and how many they would be able to use. Based on their feedback, the staff recommends funding at the reconunended amount of: Guidance Center at $37,617.00, Marquette Alger ISD at 11,735.00, Regent~ of the University of Michigan at $88,680.00, Habitat for Humanity at $41,716.50, Volunteer Muskeon at $47,084.00 and Camp Fire USA at $17,695 .50, ConnectMichigan Alliance at $26,036.00, Jumpstart for Young Children at $19,200.00, MI Primary Care Association at $25,700.00, Detroit Communities in Schools at $12,600.00, and Boys and Girls Club ofBenton Harbor at $12,900.00. Catholic Family Services will take a reduction because they were having some challenges with their match funding because a couple of their sites that were hosting members dropped out. Because ofthis, they didn't want any additional members and actually wanted to reduce their program by three members. The MCSC was able to take that funding and give it to another program. Commissioner Parker asked why this additional funding was not used to fund new AmeriCorps programs that were not initially funded. Ms. VanDam explained that these funds are not funds that we can count on year after year- they are a one-time gift. It takes a certain amount of infrastructure to start an AmeriCorps program and the MCSC didn't want to give a new organization that hasn't had an AmeriCorps program the opportunity to start a program but only be able to promise them one year of funding. The MCSC is not sure we'll be able to leverage the additional resources the next year. With the proposed FY07 budget for the Corporation looking like AmeriCorps will be taking another cut, Michigan could be faced with additional cuts next year. Commissioner Parker asked that the MCSC look for new programs and have money set aside for them. Or if there is additional funding identified, that the newer programs that haven 't applied before, may get funded. He suggested maybe a·formula be developed so that·every year funding may be reduced so that funding can be set aside for new programs. Commissioner Young-Welch shared that if our mission is to. build a culture of service, we need to have room for expansion. Kyle Caldwell explained that the Corporation and Congress are loathed to allow the commissions to hold funding. So the suggestion about formula or set aside is good. Paula VanDam has been successful in the past in pushing the Corporation to think differently about planning grants. But philosophically the push has been to provide commissions more flexibility to do this but as a federal grant maker the MCSC is not allowed to hold funds (that is why Michigan is getting the additional funding this year as other states did not use all their funding so they lost it). The MCSC will have to work hard to create a strategy to get the flexibility to do a formula based set aside program. It can be done but the MCSC will have to push hard to get the policies in place to allow us to carry over money. 3 �Commissioner Mawby made a motion to approve the additional funding and Commissioner Seese seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously. Paula VanDam explained the background <;m the AmeriCorps Formula funding staff recommendation for new funding for the Charlevoix Emmet Intermediate School District at the amount of $118,860.00. This program was in operation for six years prior to this year but did not get approved earlier this year due to the funding cuts and perfonnance issues. The performance issues have been addressed and resolved. Commissioner Mawby made a motion to approve the new funding, Commissioner Whipple seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously. B. Governor' s Service Awards - Mary Grill explained the 2006 financial summary that was distributed to Commissioners. She thanked Commissioners for their help in raising $222,000 in sponsorships. After expenses, the net profit is $101 ,824. She explained that staff is recommending that $80,000 be moved into other MCSC special programming areas and that $31 ,895 be left into the GSA fund to support GSA 2007 implementation. The MCSC recommends with the $80,000 that is going to be used for special programming, $50,000 be used for Mentor Michigan (census, outreach and other programming), $10,000 for professional development (Commissioner retreat, staff retreat or any other professional development for staff and commissioners), $10,000 for Service-Learning (Urban initiative and teacher fellows) and $10,000 for AmeriCorps (alumni development). Ms. VanDam explained that the Service-Learning Urban initiative came out of discussion from an Executive Committee meeting about developing a strategy to work with urban schools to help them get service-learning funding. The AmeriCorps alumni development would focus around locating alumni, cleaning up the database that already exists, and helping to establish local alumni chapters. The ultimate attempt will be to connect them back to their communities to service and mentoring. Commissioner Parker asked why $31 ,000 is needed to hold in the GSA fund - it seems more than has normally been kept in the account. Mary Grill explained that by switching the venue to the Fox Theater, there were deposits that they normally require up front but allowed us to pay at later dates. If the event is held at the Fox Theater in 2007, they may not be so flexible with this policy. The funding also covers the nomination form printing and mailing and the nomination review process. Commissioner Parker stated that corporations make the donations with the understanding that it is used for volunteerism and programs the MCSC support and would they support the dollars being spent on other areas instead of direct services. He also asked whether some of this money should be identified for programs that did not get funded through the funding process. Comn1issioner Collier also supports Commissioner Parker' s point. He suggested allocating more funding ($11 ,000) towards the ServiceLearning Urban Initiative and teacher fellows by leaving $20,000 in the 4 �GSA fund. Chairman Mulhern shared that our alliance should be towards spending towards what our mission is about and having Commissioners meet the needs that the MCSC has leveraging some of the sponsors to come in early. Commissioner Parker made a motion to approve the Commissioners recommendation to keep $20,000 in the GSA fund and to put the additional $11,895 towards a£\ditional funding of the ServiceLearning Urban Initiative. Commissioner Collier seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously. Mary Grill shared that the videos from the GSA finalists will be used in a television special highlighting volunteerism and service. Thanks to Melanie Colaianne and MASCO Foundation, who is the lead funder on the program, along with Home Depot, this project will happen. The plan is to have it shown in all the major media markets in Michigan. The Hands On Network will come to Michigan and will use this television special called "Michigan Cares." Commissioner Colaianne explained that Hands On Network is a volunteer organization focused on developing volunteerism around the globe. MASCO Foundation is picking up on the corporate volunteerism piece and working with 29 other Fortune 500 companies across the nation to bring attention to corporate volunteerism and to reflect the impact corporate volunteerism is having on America. President Bush has endorsed September as Corporate Volunteer Month and this is catching on. The 29 corporations got together last year and set a goal of 500,000 volunteer hours for September among those companies. Last September they came up with 851,000 volunteer hours, surpassing their goal by an incredible amount. The plan is to take that one-hour prime-time special to all the major media markets across Michigan, Canada and Ohio and give them five commercial spots to introduce the Hands On Network to Michigan and hopefully develop an affiliate in the Detroit area to help with the corporate volunteerism piece. There is not an affiliate in Michigan but there are 60 affiliates around the world. Mary Grill gave an update on the 2007 Governor's Service Awards. An invitation has been sent to Stevie Wonder to be the headliner and it is anticipated that it will be held at the Fox Theatre. The MCSC will be partnering again this year with the Carter Partnership Awards. It is possible that may be an annual presentation, similar to what the Council of Michigan Foundations does with the Mawby Award and their new award from this year. A potential funder list was distributed to Commissioners for them to review and to help with follow up. C. Mentor Michigan 1. Statewide Conference - Ms. VanDam gave an update on the upcoming Mentor Michigan Conference. There are two keynote speakers who are nationally known. Commissioners are invited to attend both a VIP reception the evening before with the Mentor Michigan Leadership Council, Providers Council and the keynote speakers, along with the conference. 5 �2. Mackinac Conference Update - Ms. VanDam gave an update on the meeting that Mr. Mulhern had with some corporations at the Detroit Regional Chamber Mackinac Conference to begin partnerships in the Detroit area with Detroit Public Schools to mentor. The companies that have stepped up are DTE, Karmanos, Detroit Medical Center, Rock Financial, CMS Energy, Wayne County Sheriff Department, and the City of Southfield. Mike Fezzey, WJR President and General Manger and a Leadership Council member, has had three of his radio personalities interviewing mentoring matches for three weeks to help people understand what mentoring is about. 3. Labor Day Bridge Run - Mentor Michigan partnered with the Governor's Council on Physical Fitness in sponsoring 20 mentoring matches who trained and participated in the Labor Day Bridge Run. It was a great partnership and a great success. CMS Energy and Saginaw Chippewa Indian Tribe were both sponsors for this and the MCSC appreciates that. 4. W.K. Kellogg Foundation Proposal- This proposal would bring $350,000 to the MCSC over the next couple of years to focus on engaging more men in mentoring with resources to pilot some projects to move forward. Also, to continue the corporate component that the MCSC embarked on at Mackinac to get more corporations to step up and support mentoring. 5. Mentor Michigan Census - The annual survey that allows the MCSC to get a sense of the growth ofmentoring is currently taking place. There has been good participation so far so there should be good measurements coming out of this census. 6. National Mentor Month - Mary Grill gave an update on National Mentor Month in January. The tool kit will be available on the Mentor Michigan website on November 9th with resources for mentoring programs. Chairman Mulhern encouraged Commissioners to look for local opportunities to mentor or promote mentoring. D. Learn & Serve Competitive Grants- Ms. VanDam announced that Michigan received $2.1 million from CNCS. The MCSC received over $1 million to partner with the MSU Extension to do peer mentoring across the state. Michigan Campus Compact was the other recipient. Amy Smitter shared that they received over $1.14 million and leveraged about the same amount from colleges and universities across the state. The MCC will partner with Mentor Michigan for a project called Investing in College Futures which will focus on recruiting college students to serve as mentors to disadvantaged youth in their community and helping them to see college as a part of their future. The other issue it will address is that through service, it will help retain college students at a higher rate on campuses so that they will proceed through graduation. E. Volunteer Investment Grants - Angelia Salas gave some background on the history and an update on Volunteer Investment Grants (VIG). A summary was distributed to Commissioners. Diana Algra gave an update on the 6 �Volunteer Centers. When she started with VCM there were 30 Volunteer Centers. Three have closed which were housed within United Way agencies. They are in Lapeer, Lenawee and Monroe Counties. There is 27 active Volunteer Centers in Michigan, 17 ofthem housed within United Ways. Some of the Volunteer Centers use VISTA and Senior Corps volunteers. She also gave a description ofthe 211 program. It is an initiative similar to the 911 system where people can call to get help (rental assistance, food, shelter, medical assistance, etc.). In most cases, all of the major hubs of211 will be within United Way agencies or another nonprofit organization. They have also expanded the role of211 to not only get help, but to give help. Citizen's can call211 and ask how can they get connected to a volunteer opportunity within the community. The 211 hub is working with local volunteer centers to place volunteers. In both Detroit and Grand Rapids, the 211 staffthat man the phones actually make the connections right away because they have lists of volunteer possibilities. The state is covered geographically by 211 in 65% of the state. If you look at population, the number is quite a bit higher because the more populated areas of the state are covered. Chairman Mulhern asked whether there will be a conversion from the 1800-Volunteer program (used by Mentor Michigan) to using the 211 program, should the MCSC be encouraging the 211 number, and what is the MCSC role. Kyle Caldwell answered by saying that 1-800-Volunteer is targeted and populated for Mentor Michigan (they understand the goals and the map for mentoring). The 211 system understands mentoring in the general sense but the relationship has not been developed yet so that everyone is tied into the network. The goal is to have both programs tied into the mentoring network. Commissioner Collier asked whether there should be a dialogue with the United Way folks on the community impact and the role of Volunteer Centers and 211. Kyle Caldwell said that they are meeting with Mike Brennan ofUnited Way to work with them on this issue. Kyle Caldwell also shared some points on VIG. There is $4.5 million endowed across the state of Michigan for Volunteer Centers because of VIG. These dollars are now being granted out to Volunteer Centers to offset some of their operation costs, etc. That happens to align with the number of dollars that are endowed for Volunteer Centers nationally. Michigan is the only state that is doing this. The philosophy around the grants was to fund local support and this has been done (it has not been used to fund the MCSC). There is a legacy to build on and it will be important to think through what the next generation of this program will look like. There is $250,000 currently available for Michigan's VIG in FY 2007. The MCSC staffwould like to see these funds used to strengthen the state's volunteer infrastructure. The staff requests that an ad hoc committee of the MCSC Board of Directors work with the MCSC staff to develop revised goals and strategies for this initiative. 7 �Chairman Mulhern stated it will be important to think through how to use the opportunity of these funds to align with our mission of promoting a culture of service. Ms. VanDam suggested that in light of some of the recommendations for ArneriCorps funding and the Learn and Serve Urban Initiative, she would like this group to look through the MCSC grant making strategies in general. A funding committee was formed with Commissioners Rob Collier, Larry Williamson, Bernard Parker and Kari Pardoe. They will meet prior to the next board meeting. V. F. Volunteering in America: State Trends and Rankings - Paula VanDam went through this report which was distributed to Commissioners. Michigan placed in the middle of the pack for most of the categories. If Michigan is going to grow an epidemic of service, the MCSC needs to think about what we can do and be more strategic to have greater impact. Unfortunately, in studies both nationally and in Michigan, the work the MCSC does (ArneriCorps programs, etc) is not reflected in these numbers. The MCSC needs to do a better job of tracking service so that it can be shown in the statewide studies. G. FY07 National Service Funding Update - Paula VanDam went through some charts that were distributed that outlined FY07 National Service funding and how it would affect Michigan. Commissioner Parker talked about his participation in National Service Hill Day (September 14). He suggested a "cheat sheet" of how the congressional members have voted relating to national service. Kyle Caldwell offered to get the voting records for Commissioners. H. ConnectMichigan Alliance I Serve Michigan Update - Chairman Mulhern shared that Larry Williamson and Janet Lawson will serve on the CMA board as MCSC representatives. Kyle Caldwell gave an overview of CMA and distributed their Annual Report, which describes how they work. New Business Advocacy- Ms. VanDam explained that the Commission needs to have a strategy for how the MCSC wants to educate the elected officials about the work of the MCSC and to continue to participate in activities like Hill Day. She would like to have a group of Commissioners work with the MCSC staffto develop this strategy. Commissioners Bernard Parker, Elizabeth Bunn, Kathy Young-Welch and Rob Collier agreed to serve on this committee. A. B. Learn & Serve Funding Strategies - Ms. VanDam explained that the Learn & Serve funding recommendations were presented at the June Executive Committee meeting. There were several applicants from Southeast 8 �• Michigan, particularly Detroit and the urban areas, that were not successful. It was agreed that at the September board meeting the Commissioners would spend some time discussing how the MCSC can be more successful in urban areas with the Learn & Serve grants. The Learn & Serve staff has put together an Urban Initiative Discussion Paper which was distributed, along with a map of where the programs ru;e based around the state, and a list of the programs that have been funded ~md those that haven't been funded . Angelia Salas gave background on the urban initiative. She shared that it has been hard to get Detroit Public Schools funded because the grant amounts are not enough (the highest amount is $40,000 per year) to initiate any interest. She went through some potential strategies: • Do outreach to administrators and educators in metro Detroit and other urban areas • Offer targeted funding at the building level (instead of district level) • Offer targeted professional development at the building level • The Learn and Serve - Michigan staff has approached the National Youth Leadership Council about bringing an upcoming Urban Service-Learning Institute to Detroit. Tllis would help us to reach more ofMichigan's urban educators. • The MCSC staff, with guidance from MCSC Fund Development Committee, would like to seek additional sources of funding to support this effort. The MCSC staff has contacted other states with urban areas (California, Illinois, Florida, New York) to find out if they have been successful in attracting urban areas and they are having the same issues as Michigan. Commissioner Comer suggested that corporations could possibly sponsor a school and match the amount the school receives in the grant. Commissioner Colaianne suggested contacting Skillman for assistance. They have worked with Detroit Schools on other initiatives. Commissioner Parker explained that the schools are feeder schools (specific elementary school feeds into specific middle school which feeds into specific high school). Identify soine money that would go to the urban area and then let the competition be among the sets of feeder schools. Commissioners were asked to serve on a Service-Learning Committee to work with the MCSC staff to develop the Urban Initiative. Commissioners that agreed to serve are: Kari Pardoe, Jerry Seese, Jimmie Comer and Christine Kwak. VI.

Amy Smitter, Michigan Campus Compact Michelle Snitgen, Michigan Campus Compact 1 �I. Welcome and Introduction - Vice Chairman Rob Collier The meeting was called to order at 12:00 by Vice Chairman Rob Collier as Chainnan Dan Mulhem could not attend the meeting due to a scheduling conflict. He asked everyone to introduce themselves. He introduced Dr. Susan Meston, a new Commissioner, who is Superintendent Mike F lanagan ' s designee. II. Mentor Michigan Census IV Results - Bob Kahle Mr. Kahle presented results from Wave IV of the Mentor Michigan Census. There are 237 registered mentoring organizations, with 137 responding to the census (58% response rate). There were 17,522 new inquiries in 2006 with 8,000 new written applications received from potential mentors. This is the highest number of inquiries and applications ever recorded by the census. But the applications are not keeping pace with the number of inquiries. There were 28,283 young people mentored in 2006 with 16,382 active mentors which means there were an estimated 35,000 mentoring relationships in Michigan in 2006. This is approximately an 11,000 person increase in children mentored. The number of active mentors from Wave I (9, 108) to Wave IV (16,382) has grown significantly. This is over a 2-year period. Another measure taken from the census is the change in the number of youth mentored. In the Wave IV census, 96 organizations report an increase in matches and 22 organizations report a decrease in matches. This shows the number ofmentored children is growing. Wave IV also shows that there is a movement away from one-to-one mentoring and toward team mentoring. There is no significant change in mentor demographics. Mentors are still mostly female and mostly Caucasian. AmeriCorps and AmeriCorps*VIST A Participation: Satisfaction with both VISTA and An1eriCorps members is high, with more than 70% reporting "Very Satisfied" with each. Their focus is mentor recruitment, awareness building, program development and mentor retention. Their outcomes included increased mentor recruitment, partnership development improvement and a greater awareness in the commwuty. Patinerships and Collaboratives: Businesses and faith-based organizations are the most likely partners for mentoring organizations. There are more than I ,500 Miclugan businesses that have relationships with mentoring organizations. The benefits include greater awareness in the community, increased mentor recruitment, increased resources and more in-kind services. Mentoring collaboratives have increased which creates better cooperation, communication and collaboration between the mentoring organizations. The results from this include greater awareness in the corrmmnity, sharing of resources, and joint problem solving. Satisfaction with Mentor Michigan remains high. The orgaruzations benefit from the traitung, mentor recruitment and marketing/awareness building that Mentor Michigan provides. Areas of support needed by mentoring organizations include more operational support (funding) and mentor recruitment support. 2 �Recommendations: Don't let up! Address key needs ofmentoring organizations which are operational funding and mentor recruitment. Funding recommendations include operational funding which could include mini re-granting program, "Plowground" by setting the stage with funding sources for mentoring organization grants, and consider a Mentor Michigan event-based fundraiser. Build mentoring organizations' capacity to raise funds by source identification, grant writing, eventbased fundraising and business partnerships. Recruitment recommendations include developing a fact-based, systematic, detailed strategic plan to recruit more men as mentors, consider review of January men and mentoring contest, consider idea generation focus groups with all key contest participants, emphasize mentor retention and referral efforts, train board members from mentoring organizations in recruitment teclmiques and enhance recruitment efficiency. Quality recommendations include emphasizing quality measures directly related to better outcomes for mentored youth (intensity and duration, post-match training) and seek to reduce sh01i-tem1 matches, lack of match closure and mismatches. Vice-Chainnan Collier suggests that these recommendations be discussed at the February MCSC Retreat. III. Review and Approval of September 21, 2006 Minutes - Vice Chairman Rob Collier Vice Chainnan Collier asked for a motion to approve the minutes from the September 21, 2006 board meeting.

Executive Director's Report - Paula VanDam asked Kyle to give an update on national service funding. Kyle Caldwell shared that Congress is looking at the Senate's numbers for funding which would mean at least flat funding for Michigan. Ms. VanDam shared the CNCS has issued proposed rules on criminal history checks for AmeriCorps members. The MCSC has had tllis as a policy so it shouldn't have a big impact on Michigan. The Russ Mawby Signature Service Project will take place on June 6 and 7 in Detroit. The MCSC received a Community-Based Learn and Serve America grant and will be partnering with MSU Extension to create youth peer mentoring programs that will include service-learning experiences for the mentor. Sixteen counties were selected to participate in the pilot year. Ms. VanDam explained that the MCSC was transferred in October from the Department of Labor and Economic Growth to the Department ofHuman Services. This transfer was made to try and protect the MCSC budget. Kyle Caldwell gave an update on the ConnectMichigan Alliance I Michigan Nonprofit Association merger. A small committee representing the Alliance partners has been formed and will be developing recommendations. B. Governor' s Service Awards - Mary Grill went through the 2007 Governor's Service Awards potential sponsors list. Commissioners were assigned as follow up contacts. An invite has been sent to Stevie Wonder to participate this year. Melonie Colaianne gave an update on the television special that will be showing the videos from the 2006 GSA finalists. It has been pushed to the first quarter of 2007 because the television stations were already booked. These spots will be used to promote volunteerism, including one spot that will focus on Mentor Michigan. The Hands on etwork has infonnation on their website promoting volunteerism and will be expanding it to identify organizations in Michigan so that when people watch the special, they can get infom1ation on Michigan organizations from the website. C. Mentor Michigan - Ms . VanDam shared information on National Mentoring Month (January). The theme will be "Motivating Men to Mentor" so the focus will be on men. There will be a toolkit on the Mentor Michigan website with information on local activities, media infom1ation, etc. There will be a recruitment challenge for mentoring organizations to recruit men as mentors with incentives available for those organizations that participate. Ms . VanDam also shared that during January, the organizations that operate 211 programs will pilot in Detroit, Grand Rapids, and Jackson the option of calling 211 to look for mentoring opportunities. 4 �D. Michigan Campus Compact/Learn and Serve Grant - Amy Smitter thanked the MCSC for helping to make the grant happen. She gave background on Chairn1an Mulhern's challenge to the college presidents to become more involved in mentoring. As a result, they set a goal to recruit 1500 new mentors in the state and are at 97% of their goal. She shared infonnation on the Michigan Campus Compact's new program provided by the grant, Investing in College Futures (ICF). The program will strengthen the ability of colleges and universities to serve the needs of Michigan's youth and institutionalize service and service-learning. It will help create a cycle of service and also help more youth see college in their future. Ms. Smitter introduced Michelle Snitgen who is the program coordinator for ICF. She gave background on the colleges/universities and their programs that have received grants.

Michigan Community Service Commission Service-Learning Committee Call November 8, 2006 Conirnittee Members Present: Jerry Seese, Christine Kwak, Kari Pardoe MCSC Staff Present: Paula K. VanDam, Jeanine Yard, Angelia Salas, Janice Harvey 1. Review of Guidance Provided by the Board and Progress: • • • • • • • • Angelia Salas shared that she is beginning conversations with Skillman to talk about their Good Schools Initiative. She has left messages and is waiting to hear back from them. Christine Kwak suggested that it would be helpful to engage with other organizations who are already working with the schools in the Detroit area. Jerry Seese suggested sending someone with a connection (Jimmy Comer?) to meet with leadership in Detroit schools Christine Kwak asked whether there were any higher education organizations in the Detroit area doing anything? Marygrove College, Wayne State University, and University of Detroit Mercy all have service-learning programs on their campus. Opportunities will be explored with them. Leverage corporate partners - it was agreed that there needs to be a more formalized plan before seeking corporate sponsors MCSC staff has had a conversation with the Community Foundation of Southeast Michigan about additional funding. They don ' t have anything currently but the MCSC will stay connected with them for additional opportunities State Farm Youth Advisory Grant - Jeanine Yard explained that the MCSC will apply for one of their grants focused on Access to Higher Education. The outcomes from this grant will be access to higher education and school retention. It can be connected to the urban initiative to provide grants to school buildings in urban areas for service learning projects. It will be a student driven effort as their Youth Advisory Council will be reviewing the grants. The MCSC needs to make sure the proposal is innovative so that it will stand out. The grants range up to $100,000 for two years. The plan would be to give $10,000 grants to urban school buildings (not districts) and also to keep some for professional development for these areas. RMC Research has done studies of service-learning in Michigan the past few years looking at the impact on academic achievement and civic engagement. Three other states are also participating in the study this year. Michigan has higher results than other states related to academic achievement. It also proves that high quality service-learning programs �;• • impacts students. The MCSC is working to make sure teachers receive training on the essential components of high quality service-learning.. The National Youth Leadership Council would like to host the 2007 Urban Service-Learning Conference in Detroit. This conference attracts 100-150 people including K-12, higher education, and CBO. The focus is on issues in urban areas. The MCSC staff is working with them on logistics (date, location, etc) and are looking at hosting it at a higher education facility in Detroit. 2. Additional Opportunities and Next Steps • Chris Kwak recommended the MCSC needs to look at other urban districts, not just Detroit (Benton Harbor, Muskegon, etc). � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

The numbers are staggering and the stories affinning. Through the work of the Michigan Community Service Commission programs in 2006: • Michigan students completed more than a million service-learning hours. Daniel G. Mulhern Michigan 's First Ge11.tleman M CSCChair Wendy Acho LaSalle Bank Midwest Elizabeth Bunn lmernational Union. UAW Melonie Colaianne MASCO Cotporation Foundation Robert Collier Cou11.cil of Michigan Foundations • Our 891 Michigan 's AmeriCorps members accomplished nearly 700,000 service and training hours. Those members also recruited, placed, and/or supp01ted more than 25 ,000 community volunteers to assist them in tackling the priority needs of communities across the state. Jimmie Comer Comer Holdings • Mentoring programs reported a record number of mentoring relationships. There were 35 ,000 children matched with a caring adult. That's 5,000 more than in 2005 and II ,000 more than in 2004, when we first surveyed mentoring programs in Michigan. Russell Mawby Chair Emeritus, W K. Kellogg Foundation In thi s 2006 annual report, you' ll witness how volunteers, students, educators, and nonprofit organizations are changing lives and making significant differences in our communities. It's Randy Walker, Sr. , who has built long-term relationships with two young men and men to red others who haven't always had a strong male role model in their lives. It 's Wendi Brantley, who was inspired to join Michigan's AmeriCorps after our members helped her become a homeowner through Habitat for Humanity. It's also Samantha, one of the Lincoln Elementary fourth graders leading a service-learning project to keep the Rouge River clean. The ongoing project involves every fourth grader in Wayne-Westland Schools . All of this growth was possible because our partners- individuals, foundations , businesses, and government organizations- understand and support the critical need to fund service programs. We thank them for their dedication and investment. Entering another year of programming, we 're focused on the work that remains. We invite you to join our movement to make a difference in the lives of individuals and collectively transform our entire state. Paula Kaiser VanDam Acting Executive Director Daniel G .

Wendi Brantley has cried tears of joy at every Habitat for Humanity house dedication she has attended. As a member of the Michigan Habitat's AmeriCorps team, she has worked closely with the families taking ownership of the homes. " I know what these people are going through to live the 'American Dream,' which is homeownership," Wendi said . Wendi really does know- just last year the 38-yearold single mother and her two daughters moved into their own Habitat home in Detroit. Wendi grew close to the AmeriCorps members as they worked together in fam ily support classes and comp leted the 300 service hours req uired by the Habitat homeownership process. The It was this experience that inspired Wendi to become a Michigan's AmeriCorps member herself. "It was the best decision I ever made," she said. "The network is awesome. I love the group I'm with. And, I'm doing something I love." Wendi's experience is a perfect example of the cycle of good will that results from the work of the Michigan Habitat's AmeriCorps team. The AmeriCorps members support the Habitat for Humanity mission to build decent, affordab le housing for people in need in Michigan. They recruit new vo lunteers to assist them in meeting this goal , train volunteers for the construction site, and ass ist fami lies with their pre-homeownership requirements, including service hours called "sweat equi ty." Each year, Michigan Habitat's AmeriCorps members take part in the process of building nearly 150 houses. Last year, they also completed more than 39,000 service and training hours and recruited and/ Michigan's AmeriCorps granted $5,683,493 to Michigan nonprofit programs. In addition, members earned more than $1,540,000 million in education awards . Impact 891 members, ages 17 to 72 years old, served in 82 out of 83 Michigan counties. 690,643 service and training hours were comp leted by members. 6 �or suppmied more than 8,000 volunteers. Michigan Habitat's AmeriCorps is one of the 21 AmeriCorps programs that are part of the Michigan 's AmeriCorps family. Commonly described as the "domestic Peace Corps," Ame1iCorps is a national service program that engages members in service in communities all over Michigan. Members strengthen communities by addressing local concerns. The mission of AmeriCorps is to get things done, strengthen communities, encourage responsibility, and expand oppo1iunity. Within Michigan's AmeriCorps, each program develops its priorities based on the needs of local communities. In the past year, 891 members of Michigan's AmeriCorps served in various areas throughout the state. Members built houses, mentored children, taught conflict resolution, recruited volunteers, implemented homeland security activities, educated individual s in environmental, health, and disaster preparedness issues, and more. The Michigan Community Service Comm ission supports and provides funding for each program , utilizing federal funds from the Corporation for National and Community Service. Michigan's AmeriCorps members ranged in age from 17 to 72 years old, and spanned a wide spectrum of other demographic categories. Each member commits to completing a specified tem1 of service, usually one year. They are provided a modest living allowance and are placed within nonprofit organizations, schools, and other agencies. Full-time members receive health benefits while serving. They may also be eligible for childcare benefits, according to their income. Upon the successful completion of service, each member receives an education award that can be used to pay for future college tuition or for qualified student loans. Michigan's AmeriCorps members earned more than $ 1.5 million in education awards in 2006. Each Michigan's AmeriCorps program provides training and professional development to members. The topics include citizenship, volunteer management, and leadership skills, as well as other specialized trainings. terms of Michigan and the United States. An impmiant aspect of the Michigan'sAmeriCorps program is the annual Member Celebration, which unites members fi·om across the state. ln November 2005, more than 400 individuals were swom in as new members at tllis event. Members had the oppo1iunity to network with one another, attend training seminars, and participate in teambuilding exercises. Members were also brought together in May 2006 for the annual Russ Mawby Signatme Service Project, at which 250 members worked on I 0 Habitat for Humanity homes in Grand Rapids. The project is a pminership between the MCSC, Michigan Habitat's AmeriCorps, and a local Habitat for Hw11anity affiliate. As a cause and effect of an awareness of being pa1i of a larger team , Michigan's AmeriCorps programs have been known to lend a helping hand outside of their home communities, and sometimes beyond their usual service activities. AmeriCorps Together We Prepare members routinely provide disasterrelief services both in-state and out-of-state, and served in New Orleans for an extended period of time immediately following Hurricane Katrina. Later, Downriver CARES AmeriCorps had the unique opportunity to travel to New Orleans to assist with the cleanup in Katrina's aftermath. Michigan's AmeriCorps members are eager to help, wherever it takes them. For Wendi Brantley, that's the whole reason for being a part of AmeriCorps. The MCSC works to help members understand that though part of an individual program , they are also part of a larger national service movement, both in "In the end, it's showing my 15-year-old that there is more to life than just money," she said. "Your blessings come from what you do for other people." Through our members' service: 2,943 students received tutoring services or homework help. 1,843 children benefitted from ongoing mentoring relationships. 25,050 community volunteers were recruited, placed, and/ or supported by Michigan's AmeriCorps members. They donated 158,505 hours of volunteer service. 68 famjJies prepared to take ownership of new homes. 16,747 individuals were trained in disaster relief services. - Michigan s AmeriC01ps progress reports, September 2006. 7 ((Without our AmeriCorps members, we would have far less to offer the communities we serve.

Servi ce-learning is a teaching and learning app roach that connects meaningful service to the community with what students are learning in the classroom . This kind of instruction en ri ches leaming, teaches c ivic responsibility, and fosters personal growth. Learn and Serve - Michigan granted $629,000 to support schoo l-based serv ice-learn ing for grades K-12 in 26 school districts across the state in 2006. The program also awarded a Comm uni ty Higher Education Schoo l Partnerships (CHESP) grant of $ 15 7,000 for programming in 23 schoo l buildings. 10 The work of Leam and Serve - Michigan is carried out by the MCSC in partnership with the Michigan Depattment of Education. It is a part of the Learn and Serve America grant program for schoo l-age yo uth supported by the Corporation for National and Community Service. The service-l earn ing approach has students move beyond the classroom and into the community where they leam math , science, language arts, and other requ ired subjects by addressing community needs and so lving real-life problems. In the case of Lincoln Elementary fourth graders, their problem-solving is pati of a community-wide river rescue effort. Laura Gutt's class at Li nco ln Elementary joi11ed in the effort last schoo l year. Her fourth-grade science students had been studying concepts related to land, water, and the environment. It was time to move on to the real-life part of their learning. Their job was to plant trees native to Michigan and bushes to keep excessive storm water runoff and pollutants out of the Rouge River. "We voted on wh ich trees to plant," said Samantha, one of Gutt's students. " We a ll took turns putting things on the trees like dirt, mulch , and the woodchips. Best of a ll, the planting helped make the Rouge River cleaner." �"Rooting for the Rouge" is a partn ership between the cities of Wayne, Westland , Inkster, and Ca nton, all ofWayne-Westl and Community Schools' fourth-grade classes, and the district's bui Iding and grounds department. The students stud y loca l water quality and continue to work side-byside with commu ni ty volunteers planting trees, stenciling storm drains with warning signs aga in st dumping toxins , and ed ucating the commu nity about these environmental issues. To date, 66 trees and 50 shrubs have been planted and 500 storm drains have been stenc il ed. According to the 2006 Michigan Learn and Serve Evaluation Report by the RMC Research Corporation, an increas ing number of Michigan teachers and students are engaging in serv icelearni ng. The report also shows increased academic drive and greater problem-solving skill s in students w ho participate in sustained schoo lbased service- learn ing. Because of the integration of co mmunity engagement with academics, service-l earning students also tend to seek out a deeper invo lvement with civic issues and believe they can make a difference in their co mmuniti es. Li llian Dean is one of the students ' community partners. She's the point person when it comes to tree se lection and planting. Hired by the City of Westland as a project staff member and consultant in 2000, she has praise for the students' work. To guide students in connecting classroom instruction with the wo rld aro und them, teachers are required to continue their own learning. With that in mind, Lea rn and Serve - Michigan created th e Teacher Fellows Program. Ed ucators selected for thi s program further develop their expertise in service-l earning, mentor and train teachers a nd admini strators in effective service-l earni ng practi ces , and promote the use of service-learning as an effective teaching tool. "The results are clear ... hundreds of students and their parents are now aware of the Rouge River and what they can do to help hold back storm water," Dean said . "Students understand that storm drains are not garbage cans. This is a significant contribution to a very impo1iant public problem ." During the school year, Wayne-Westland servicelearning programs engaged more than I ,700 students in more than 21,800 hours of service-l earning. Gutt is one of service-learning's bi ggest advocates and she holds up the Rouge project as an example of w hy this method of learning is maki ng a long-term impact on students. Learn and Serve - Michigan also offered training at th e Annual Institute on Service-Learning in February 2006. The conference, a patinership with the Michi gan Campu s Compact, drew together more than 350 faculty, staff, administrators, and students from K-12 and higher education institution s across Michigan . "Thj s experi ence allows the students to have a " hands-on" approach to learning . . . which is often times more effective than sitting in a classroom doing written work," she said. Michael P. Flanagan, the state superintendent of public instruction, also acknowledges that Michigan students are benefitting from their service-l earning expenences. "Through this work, our students are experiencing academic rigor, connecting with the relevancy of communi ty issues, and building relationships with the world around them," he said. Because of the great potential for more of this type of impact, Learn and Serve - Michigan aims to give every Michigan youth service-learning opportuni ties in e lementary, middl e, and hig h schoo l. To expand the type of activ iti es offered, the Council of Michigan Foundations' Learning to Give program was awarded a grant to in co rporate service- learn ing into its curriculum of philanthropy and citizenship. Students also patiicipate with Learn and Serve - Michigan through the Service-Learning Youth Co uncil (S LYC). Representing grades 7 through 12, Co uncil students work closely with program staff to generate support of service-l earning. Last year, SLYC students initiated 17 local projects and gave more than 30 presentations on the esse nti al elements and benefits of service-learning.

They visited with the seniors, played games, made crafts, and sang songs. They also interviewed the older adults and made a video documentary of those conversations. To further their personal cormection with their senior partners, the students also wrote them letters, and made them cards and blankets. (Bedford Public Schools) Environment Southgate students in ninth through twelfth grades conducted an ac id rain research project. With the guidance of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the Department of Water Quality, students studied ph levels in lakes, rivers, and ponds at five sites in the U.S. and two in Canada. Findings were presented at a science symposium sponsored by a National Science Foundation grant and Wayne State University. (Southgate Community Schools) A class of autistic students at Jackson High School designed and implemented a school-wide recycling project.

(Clarkston Community Schools) Learn and Serve - Michigan granted $629,000 in schoolbased service-learning grants. The Gran tees included 26 school districts that encompassed 325 school buildings. Impact Through these grants, 1,573 teachers engaged 47,298 K12 students in 1,100,000 hours of service-learning. They were assisted by 3, 128 adu lt vo lunteers and established more than 500 school/community partnerships. 12 �Child Literacy More than 200 preschool, kindergarten, and second-grade students at Williamston Discovery Elementary Schoo l pa1ticipated in the Kindergarten Literacy Transitions Project. Kindergarten students chose a book for themselves and one for a preschool buddy. They then practiced reading and understanding the book with a second-grade buddy. Finally, each kindergartener met with a preschool student, gave them their book, and read it to them . (Williamston Community Schools) Human Needs Lowell High School ceramic arts students produced a1twork and organ ized the bidding process for a silent auction of their creations.

Randy Walker, Sr. leads a very busy life. He is a husband, father of two boys, Health Alliance Plan executive, and active church and community volunteer and leader. He connected with Kevin tlu-ough Big Brothers Big Sisters of Metropolitan Detroit and has men to red him for the last seven years. He met Arbie through his voltmteerism at the University of Detroit High School and Academy. Both young men are now attending college. But when he met two young men who could use his guidance and support, he made room in his life and family to become their mentor. You might catch them shooting hoops together, visiting the Charles H. Wright Museum of African American History, or walking to raise funds for the American Heart Association. Their time together has mixed fun with a focus on education , leadership, volunteerism, and cultura l experiences. Randy has been intentional about preparing his g uys for their next steps in life. He exposes them to business meetings, engages them in public Randy was honored at the 2006 Governor 's Service Awards with the Outstanding Mentor Award. He began mentoring in 1998 when he joined the Detroit chapter of I 00 Black Men. In addition to mentoring, he was the chairman of the mentoring program and is now president of the organization. He is passionate about getting more men like him self to mentor. In M ich igan, women lead men in mentoring, 65 percent to 35 percent. "We all can make a difference and it doesn ' t matter what type of education or job you have. These A 2006 survey of I 37 men loring organizations in 39 Michigan countiesfound: The 230 M ichigan mentoring organizations registered with Mentor Michigan. Impact More than 35,000 Michigan youth were matched with mentors - 12,000 more youth than in 2004, when the sw·vey was first initiated. 14 �young men need someone who will listen , be supportive, and help encourage them," Randy said. "More now than ever, more men need to mentor as we are losing our young men to drugs, crime, and the prison system. Everyone should tell themselves, ' I am going to personally make sure that one more young man graduates from high schoo l because I am going to be involved in his life."' Randy is also quick to point out that Kevin and Arbie have changed his life as much as he has made a difference in theirs. "Kevin and Arbie made me realize that by giving my time, I was able to help them stay focused and pursue their college education," he said. " It also helped me understand what unconditional love is all about. 1 wi ll always consider them my sons." Statistics show that we have more than 500,000 children iJ1 Michigan who could benefit from having a mentor. This drives the work of Mentor Michigan to support, strengthen, and sustain mentoring across the state. that support high-quality mentoring in Michigan. A checkli st was also created as a tool to help programs implement these standards. • Conducted the fourth installment in its annual census on the state of mentoring in Michigan. • Supp01ted and helped establish mentoring collaboratives to foster networking between programs. • He ld its inaugural statewide mentoring conference. • Kicked off a campaign to engage more businesses in mentoring. To achieve its goals, the program collaborates with more than 230 mentoring programs throughout the state. Program development is guided by advisors from a statewide Providers Council ofmentoring professionals. It also relies on its Leadership Council, a group of influential executives and community leaders who proactively advocate for mentoring and help expand mentoring resources.

Since 1998, Michigan 's Volunteer Investment Grants (VlG) program has served as a catalyst for the growth ofMichigan's volunteer community. Initially conceived by the MCSC as a challenge grant to raise endowment funds for local volunteer centers, the program has helped local centers raise and endow nearly $6 million dollars. Today, Michigan's VIG continues to provide needed support to sustain our volunteer infrastructure. More than ever before, people are looking for ways to give back to their community by volunteering. The first critical step for these potential volunteers is finding the cause or organization that is right for them. To address this need, 27 volunteer centers serving 40 counties connect those with needs with those interested in serving their community. Volunteer centers work closely with organizations in their communities to recruit, train, place, manage, and recognize volLmteers. Recognizing the value The Impact 27 volw1teer centers covered 40 counties and 82% of our population. As a result of Michigan s Volunteer Investments Grants: A technology initiative was implemented, helping 21 centers increase their technology capacity. in this volunteer assistance, the MCSC awarded a $200,000 grant to the Volunteer Centers of Michigan (VCM). This investment enabled the VCM to reach its goals, such as strategic growth of the number of counties served, better use of teclmology, and support for local skill development of volunteer center directors, staff, and board members. Kristina Beamish, director of United Way Volunteer Center of Chippewa County, is proud that her volunteer center was completely self-sustained financially in the last budget year. She gives the credit for this accomplishment and other volunteer center successes to the endowment created by VIG. "Our volunteer center wouldn't exist if it weren 't for the VIG ," she said. "Nearly seven years after the original grant, we have a countywide recognition program, an online searchable database of volunteer opportunities, two satellite volunteer centers in the making, and many other great things." This type of growth in the volunteer centers is the realization of Michigan's VIG 's purpose- supporting the social fabric that connects local needs with the citizens who can address them. 17 volunteer centers took advantage of Technology Enhancement grants of more than $65,000 that generated an additional $115,000 in cash and in-kind support. N-Power Michigan developed "A Buyers Guide to Technology Enhancements" that was distributed nationwide to the Volunteer Center National Network. A yearlong Leadership Academy was hosted by the Volunteer Centers of Michigan to strengthen the management capacity of centers. - Volunteer Centers of Michigan, September 2006. 17 ((Improving our technology helps us better mobilize volunteers to meet the community's needs." - Denise Hubbard, coordinator, United Way & Volunteer Connections of Montcalm �Governor's Service Awards Changing Lives by Recognizing Heroes We honor ordinary people who do the extraordinary.

In our previous reports, we articulated a need to increase the capacity ofMichigan' s volunteer centers in three critical areas: Leadership- Well over 75% ofMichigan's volunteer centers have experienced a change in lead staff. In addition, over half of all centers are now internal to other agencies limiting the broader community leadership opportunities of a volunteer center. Therefore, VCM felt that it was important to train the existing and future leadership of the volunteer centers in Michigan to help them increase their capacity to build strong organizations, develop and engage an effective board, creatively leverage resources, and empower others to innovate. Technology - Nearly two years ago, CMA developed a goal of gaining universal access for Michigan's volunteers and the opportunities that nonprofits they serve have to offer. Included in this goal was providing a user-friendly technology recruitment solution that might also provide information on the interests, placement and results of the work of Michigan's volunteers. Many volunteer centers were eager to participate in this broad initiative. In addition, the volunteer centers lacked a system to collect, analyze and share critical information on the impact of their work. After a thorough analysis of the volunteer centers (conducted by Bob Kahle), VCM discovered three key challenges to CMA's universal access goal. First, volunteer centers lack a uniform level of technology that would allow for a web-based or other electronic technology solution. Second, volunteer centers were using no fewer than seven different recruitment technology solutions (web-based recruitment and placement systems) that were unable to share information. Finally, the volunteer centers lacked the required knowledge, capacity and in-house expertise necessary to maintain the most up to date hardware and software solutions necessary to collect, analyze and maintain impact and other forms of data necessary to meet their needs. Impact and Coverage- The existing volunteer centers provide "coverage" to roughly 65% of the geography (by county) of the state. However, this figure can be somewhat deceiving. While the majority of the counties are serviced by a volunteer center, what constitutes "coverage" can differ from rural versus urban or more dense population communities. For example, three employees serving the counties of Wayne, Oakland and Macomb is different than nearly five employees serving Muskegon County alone. In addition, we discovered that many communities with existing communities were unable to maintain a volunteer center consistently while those same communities would call for thereestablished of the volunteer center. At the same time, there are several communities in the state that �lack the infrastructure provided by a vohmteer center that would like support in starting up and maintaining the work of one. Finally, as mentioned in the technology section, volunteer centers meet the unique needs of their communities. Their services range from board development to events, online recruitment hosting to Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) outreach, and mentoring programs to student volunteer recognition. However, not all centers provide the same services in the same way. While this variety is healthy for the communities that volunteer centers serve, this dynamic makes "telling their story" and communicating their impact extremely difficult. In the body of this report, you will see the progress VCM and our member centers have made in these areas. FY 2005-2006 As originally submitted the VIG would provide resources for the Volunteer Centers as follows: • • • Enlarge the capacity ofVolunteer Centers to meet the core competencies and Standards of Excellence mandated by the Volunteer Center National Network. Create an information and referral system statewide that will meet the needs oflocal centers while providing impact data to help make the case for service and volunteerism in Michigan. Fortify the sector by assisting Volunteer Centers (VC) in their role of providing support to local nonprofits. In an effort to meet the above goals the VCM undertook a study of the network as described below. Volunteer Center Study The following summarizes the recommendations that carne out of our volunteer center study, conducted by Kahle Research Solutions, during the 2005-2006 year. The outcomes of the study served to confirm the following key fmdings: 1. VCs need to improve their understanding and value placed on the evaluation of their services. Critical to this is their ability to document their work/outcomes in the following areas: • Volunteer Opportunities Registered • Volunteers Referred • Volunteers Placed • Volunteer Hours Worked • Agencies/Business Served • Training/Consulting or other capacity building services provided to the larger community 2. VCs operating specific community-wide programs must begin to document specific program outcome data. 3. VCs should continue to develop success stories that document the impact of the VCs on the larger community. These stories can be used to communicate their success to all of their key constituents including their board members, funding sources, volunteers and partner agencies. In addition to the specific VC recommendations, our consultant also made a series of recommendations related to the VCM as a state association. These included the following: • VCM should conduct an introspective review of its mission, vision, and methods of operation. • Page 2 �• • • • • • VCM should seek to more effectively engage its members and make VCM more relevant and integrated into the success of each center' s operation. Consider, based on the research presented here, segmenting VCM services by organizational structure of the VC (Independent, futernal to United Way, others). VCM should take on a strong advocacy role on behalf of its member centers, especially in relation to the POLF and federal and state funding sources. VCM should seek technical support for Michigan' s VCs so that they can use technology to connect more efficiently and effectively. VCM should identify key areas where VC leaders can benefit from training. Seek to develop VC leaders who can raise funds for operational support and put strategies in place to sustain local VCs over time. VCM should seek to gain 100% buy-in and participation in ongoing efforts to develop and document the work of each VC. Training of people and development of information systems with defined terms, common collection protocols, and standard reporting approaches are essential to building stronger case statements. Taking these two lists into consideration, the VCM proposed the following next phase initiatives that would address a number of the recommendations outlined above. • • • • Provide support to VCs that is unique to their needs and structure (internal vs. independent). fucrease the leadership capacity ofVC staff to advance their organizations. Develop and implement a plan to enhance the ability ofVCs to fully utilize technology to document impact of their organization. Enhance the technology skills ofVC staff to ensure the quality and sustainability of the technology usage. Leadership Professional Development/ Leadership Academy During our association meetings in 2005 we addressed the following topics: Logic model and outcomes; laid the foundation for our VC Kahle Study; POLF Affiliation work and training on POLF VISTA initiative. With the assistance of the MNA Leadership Institute, we developed and implemented the VC Leadership Academy beginning in March of2006. The VC Academy would work to address the professional development needs of the VC network leadership and key staff. Topics chosen to address during our first year included: leadership vs. management; differences between internal and external VC; POLF Standards of Excellence and Affiliation Agreement; changing tides of the nonprofit sector; nonprofit lifecycles; critical role technology plays in nonprofits; marketing and promotion and building strategic alliances for meaningful impact; strategic planning, principals and practices for non-profit excellence; diversification of funding; advocacy ; and governance. Our venue for offering these included the use of our quarterly meetings already on VCs schedules; participation in the annual MNA SuperConference and bi-monthly conference calls. Outcomes: 1. Developed the nation's first leadership development curriculum for Volunteer Center Directors. The POLF has expressed interest in sharing our training curriculum with other VC State Associations. • Page 3 �2. The Academy has engaged over 96 % of the Volunteer Center Director network (Goal 100% of new directors). Technology Assessment, Training and Resources for Hardware & Software We undertook, with NPower Michigan, the development of a technology plan for the VCs. This was broken down into two areas: • Basic Technology Grants to allow a VC to undergo an assessment of their technology capacity and provide them with recommendations on how to upgrade their current systems, creating a technology plan for them. Matching resources would then be provided to get them to the "basic" level of technology application. To help remediate these needs, NPower developed a recommended "Buying Guide," containing key specifications and specific product recommendations. NPower also assist the centers with referrals on how to obtain discounts price on equipment and software when requested. Outcomes: 1. N-Power Michigan helped 21 centers (77%) with training, individual consultations, and Tech Atlas support. • Technology Resources and Training Grants allowed us to develop 1-2 page resource guides to benefit Volunteer Centers, and then reviewed these resources during a series of conference calls. Additionally, since the staff of member VC would need some sort of technology training, we set aside a pool of funds to subsidize training by allowing each Volunteer Center funds for 1-2 classes, as requested. MNA member organizations (VCs are MNA members) can take classes at New Horizons on Outlook for a relatively low price. Outcomes: 1. Engaged N-Power Michigan to create "A Buyers Guide to Technology Enhancements" since distributed as a national model to the Volunteer Center National Network of the POLF. Impact and Coverage Strategic Planning for the VCM Network We established an ad-hoc Strategic Planning Committee for the VCM to undertake the development of a new 3-5 year strategic plan to move forward both the VCM and the volunteer center network. The committee was comprised ofVC directors in the network and some key outside stakeholders. Outcomes: The summer strategic planning process was followed up with the establishment of 6 Vision Priority teams ofVC directors that will work on the following key areas this coming year: 1. Creating our identity across the state 2. Using outcome data to prove the value ofVC 3. Developing and implementing ongoing professional development for the VC directors. 4. Seeking additional resources to the support network ofVC. 5. Creating a volunteer presence in every community 6. Enhancing the VC capacity to use up to date technology. Our work will be guided by Sue Weachter ofComerstone Consulting Inc. • Page 4 �FY2006-2007 The ConnectMichigan Alliance (CMA) and the Volunteer Centers of Michigan (VCM) FY 2006-2007 request for funding proposed to continue to address the following overarching goals: • • • • Enlarge the capacity of Volunteer Centers to meet the core competencies and Standards of Excellence mandated by the Volunteer Center National Network. Create an information and referral system statewide that will meet the needs oflocal centers while providing impact data to help make the case for service and volunteerism in Michigan. Fortify the sector by assisting Volunteer Centers (VC) in their role of providing support to local nonprofits. Expand the coverage area of the Michigan VC Network. The VCM proposed the following initiatives to continue enhancing the Volunteer Centers capacities statewide. Leadership Development VC Leadership Academy- We propose to continue our work with the VC Leadership Academy and develop a method for orienting new Volunteer Center leadership as they enter the network. Our quarterly meeting will continue to include seminar/workshop topics of interest and need to the network. In addition our face to face meeting will be supplemented with bi-monthly conference calls as a way of continuing our training with the network and being able to address needs as they come up. Outcome: 1. We will bring to a close our first year Leadership Academy class on March 8-9, 2007. 2. A membership survey will take place during our retreat to measure the impact our Leadership Academy on the network and to generate a list of training topics for the coming year. 3. We established mentoring matches for the 5 new VC Directors that joined the network. When requested we have also matched Program Managers new to the network with more experienced ones in an effort to grow our VC talent. 4. All 5 new Directors to the network this year have taken advantage of all the trainings offered. VC Strategic Board Initiative- We propose setting aside resources to assist up to ten VC in undertaking a strategic planning process for their Boards of Directors over the course of this coming year. This planning process will allow them to examine ways that they can enhance their services to the community and nonprofits, examine their sustainability plans and develop steps to meet their core standards and services as required by the POLF Affiliation Agreement. Grants would range from $1000- $2000 per center based on a proposal that would be reviewed by the VCM. Outcome: 1. An RFP will go out to the VC network by mid-March 2007 to release these dollars. Technology Organizational Capacity Technology Upgrades- We have begun, with the support ofNPower MI, to work with our VC network to develop their individual technology assessment plans. Once they have nnder gone the assessment process NPower will work with them to develop an implementation plan for the needed upgrades. In an • Page 5 �effort to grow our networks capacity we propose continuing to hold a pool of resources that our centers can apply for. Outcome: 1. Seventeen (63%) volunteer centers took advantage of the Technology Enhancement Funds. 2. Fifteen "Quick Win" grants totaling $5,915 leveraged an additional $6,796 dollars in cash and in-kind support. 3. Sixteen "Large Tech Grants" totaling $59,507leveraged another $108,669 dollars in cash and in-kind support. 4. Fifteen centers (88%) used the dollars to upgrade hardware; Sixteen centers (94%) used the dollars to purchase new or upgrade software with ten (5~/o) purchasing volunteer matching software. 5. Twelve centers (70%) used dollars to provide for both staff and nonprofits organizations training on the use of the volunteer matching software. 6. Ten centers (59%) use dollars to upgrade and enhance their web-sites. Statewide Data CollectionA statewide data collection system was a goal of the network during our second year ofVIG fi.mding. With the help of Kahle Research Solutions and a team of six Volunteer Center directors, the network developed a set of standard data collection indicators. Once finalized we proceeded to develop a basic web-based collection tool that would be used monthly, quarterly or annually to collect data. Outcomes: 1. We then entered into a contractual relationsmp with "GrandNet" out of Grand Rapids to develop a web-based reporting system for our centers. 2. Volunteer centers began to input data starting with July 1, 2006. To date 93 % of our centers have recorded data into the system. 3. Kahle Research Solutions will be reviewing our first six months of data and will be ready to present at our March 2007 VCM Retreat. We will be happy to share the data with the MCSC at their next meeting. Impact and Coverage Innovation Grants As we work toward enhancing the standards of excellence for all our Volunteer Centers we propose to implement an "innovation grant program". These grant dollars would be distributed via an application process requiring local volunteer centers to develop a work plan for the project's implementation that include outcomes measures. These grants could be used to implement local Business Volunteer Councils, provide for a local training series on Volunteer Management, establish an annual community wide volunteer recognition event, establish a local mentoring collaborative among others. Grants would range from $300-$750. Outcome: 1. An RFP that will go out to the VC network by mid-March 2007 to release these dollars. Universal Coverage/Expansion Grants As we continue to work toward providing every Michigan citizen access to volunteer opportunities, with our goal being, universal coverage, we developed an RFP process that would provide fi.mding to • Page 6 �either begin a new center, expand the service area of a current center and to develop sustainability plans for either. • • New Communities- $45 ,000 with grants ranging from $10,000-$15,000. Current Center- $22,500 with grants ranging from $5000- $7,500. Outcome: · L Currently the 27 Volunteer Centers cover 40 counties and 82.17% of our population. Our Start-Up Volunteer Center Initiative generated to date 3 submissions with an additional one or two in development. These start-ups will increase county coverage an additional4 counties and population percentages will grow to 86%. 2. An RFP is out to our current VC network for expansion grants. The Letters of intent that have come in are proposing to increase our geographic population coverage another eight counties. Deadline for full proposals is February 28, 2007. Technology Statewide Volunteer Matching Portal Another component of the Volunteer Centers of Michigan's goal toward universal coverage and access is a website presence that will provide volunteers and the nonprofits they serve an easy access venue to share information about opportunities and interest. VCM's research through Kahle Research Solutions and Npower Michigan led to three key findings: 1. VCs utilize no less than 7 different web-based recruitment/referral systems, 2. The protocol to create one statewide portal that unifies these systems and allows them to share data does exist, however none of the vendors agreed to utilize the protocol, 3. A statewide model for web-portal recruitment and referral was created in other states including California that Michigan may be able to buy and adapt without paying the high development costs. VCM will be working to develop a strategy for a state portal with the hope of developing as comprehensive a system as possible to meet the needs of Volunteer Centers and potentially other service and volunteer infrastructure partners . Our system will be developed by September 2007 and launched by April2008 during (Michigan Volunteer Week) . Conclusion The Volunteer Centers of Michigan are proud of the progress detailed in this summary, but remain concerned that Volunteer Centers in Michigan are not universally embraced and supported in every community, are not universally understood as a vital resource for every nonprofit in Michigan, and are not universally celebrated for the meaningful support they provide for Michigan's volunteers. VCM sees an increasing need for volunteer centers as the "Baby Boomer" market continues to grow, youth are seeking "cool cities" to live in, and more and more communities are seeking help with increasingly complex challenges. It is our hope that by increasing the awareness of impact, sharing information more effectively, becoming more accessible and by enhancing and sustaining the leadership of the Volunteer Center network in Michigan, we will be able to ensure that every Michigan resident has access to a meaningful and long-term volunteer experience.

Since the terrorist attacks of September 11 , 2001, the nation bas witnessed a significant upsurge in volunteers, particularly among this demographic. Both on campuses and in surrounding communities, millions of college students are participating in a wide range of volunteer service activities, from teaching and mentoring children from disadvantaged circumstances, to raising funds for worthy causes, to helping their fellow Americans recover from hurricanes and other disasters. The number of coUege students who volunteer is up by approximately 20 percent from 2002 to 2005 The mission of the Corporation for ational and Community Service is to improve lives, strengthen communities, and foster civic engagement through service and volunteering. As part of that mission, the Corporation makes a significant investment in nurturing a culture of service on college campuses. Building on that support, the Corporation is working with other federal agencies, colleges and universities, higher education and student associations, and nonprofit organizations to encourage even greater levels of college student volunteering and to ensure that college graduates embark on a lifetime of service. Our goal is to increase the number of college students volunteering each year, reaching 5 million by 2010. To identify key trends in college student volunteering and to understand their implications for growing volunteering among college students, the Corporation has produced a new report, tided Col/egf Students Helping America. The report analyzes data collected from 2002 to 2005 as part of the Current Population Survey (CPS), a comprehensive and scientifically rigorous survey of 60,000 American households conducted by the U.S. Census Bureau and the Bureau of Labor Statistics. With the Corporation's support, the Census Bureau has administered a volunteer supplement to the CPS each September since 2002.1 For the purposes of this analysis, college students were defined as individuals between 16 and 24 years of age who, at the tiffie of the survey, were enrolled in a post-secondary higher education institution. To read or download the ful report, visit www.nationalservice.gov. The number of college students volunteering grew by nearly 600,000 from 2.7 million in 2002 to 3.3 million in 2005. The growth rate of college student volunteers (approximately 20%) is more than double the growth rate of all adult volunteers (9%) . In 2005, approximately 30.2 percent of college students volunteered, exceeding the volunteer rate for the general adult population of 28.8 percent. The growth in college volunteering has primarily been generated by youth who attended high school or were firstyear college students during the terrorist attacks of 9111 The vast majority (84%) of current college student volunteers were of high-school age (between 14 to 18 years old) in 2001. Since September 2001, the overall percent of college students who volunteer has increased from 27.1 percent to 30.2 percent. The bulk of the increase in the college student volunteering rate comes from the difference in the volunteer rates of 18 to 24 year-old college students in 2005 (30.2%) and 18 to 24 year-old college students in 2002 (26.8%). Tutoring and mentoring are the most popular volunteer activities among college students Among college student volunteers, tutoring (26.6%) and mentoring (23 .8%) are the most common volunteer activities. 39.2 percent of black college student volunteers engage in mentoring activities, compared to 22.3 percent of white college student volunteers. Students who work part time volunteer more than students who do not work at aU Volunteer rates are highest among students who work 1-10 hours (46.4%) and 11-15 hours (35%) a week, while students who are not employed volunteer at a con siderably lower rate (29.8%). �EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The volunteering rate declines substantially as college students work more hours each week. Students . who work 31-35 hours and 36-40 hours volunteer at rates of 22.8 percent and 23.2 percent, respectively. 3 College student volunteers are more likely than the general adult volunteer population (27% to 23.4%) to be "episodic" volunteers (volunteering fewer than two weeks per year with their main organization).

As part of our 2006 report Volunteen.ng in Amen·ca: State Trendr and Ronkingr, the Corporation produced the first-ever state volunteer rankings for the overall adult population and college students. Those results are reproduced in the full College Studentr Helping A merica report. Key findings include: Across the 50 states and the District of Columbia, college student volunteer rates ranged from 21.4 percent to 62.9 percent between 2003 and 2005. Six of the 10 states that rank in the top ten based on overall volunteering rates also rank in the top 10 for college student volunteering rates. BUILDING A CULTURE OF COUEGE SERVICE PROALE OF COLLEGE STUDENT VOLUNTEERS Who Volunteers College students follow the national trend in volunteering, with females (33%) volunteering at a higher rate than males (26.8%), and whites (32%) volunteering at a higher rate than students of other races and ethnicities (23.6%). College students are twice as likely to volunteer as individuals of the same age who are not enrolled in an institution of higher education (30.2% and 15.1 % , respectively). Where They Volunteer Nearly a third (31.6%) of college student volunteers serve with educational or youth services organizations, compared to about a quarter (26.3%) of the general adult volunteer population. Less than a quarter (23.4%) of college student volunteers serve with religious organizations, compared to more than a third (34.8%) of the general adult volunteer population. How They Volunteer 44.1 percent of college student volunteers engage in "regular" volunteering (volunteering 12 or more weeks a year with their main organization). The Corporation for National and Community Service applauds the growing number of higher education institutions that are embracing their civic mission and building strong community connections in new and creative ways. The Corporation believes that colleges and universities and the students that attend them are critical to building a culture of citizenship, service, and responsibility in America. Each year, the Corporation makes a signil:icant investment in building a culture of service on college campuses through: Learn and erve America, .-\meriCorps, VISTA, and Senior Corps grant programs; the provision of training and technical assistance; and Segal AmenCorps Education Awards provided to .AmeriCorps members who use their awards to pay for college tuition or to pay back student loans. In addition, the Corporation is working closely with our various governmental, educational, and nonprofit partners to increase the number of college students who volunteer to 5 million a year by 2010. Key strategies include: Strengthening and e.xpanding our network of intermediary organizations and institutions (Campus Compacts, higher education and student associations, Volunteer Centers, State Service Commissions, faith based and other community-based organizations) that provide key support for service and service-learning. �4 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Ensuring that more college students have opportunities to serve as part of their academic studies through high-quality service-learning, and building the pipeline for future college student volunteers by expanding service-learning in K-12 schools. Encouraging campuses to develop more community service offices, offer more courses and degrees in nonprofit management, and take od1er steps to build connections with community organizations. Increasing the number of college students serving as tutors and mentors to youth from disadvantaged circumstances, particularly to prepare them for high school completion and college attendance. Supporting efforts to expand service opportunities through the Federal Work-Study program. Promoting the value and inlportance of service on campus and reducing barriers that inhibit students from engaging in service. 1 The 2002 data include results from September 2001 to September 2002, thus including volunteering that occurred in the year inlmediately after the September 11 attacks. The September 2005 survey asks individuals not only if they volumeer, but also where they volunteer, how they volunteer and how often they volunteer. Results do not include data since Hurricane Katrina.

Between then and the devastation of Hurricane Katrina four years later, Americans increased their volunteer activities in their communities significantly, from 59.8 million Americans volunteering in 2002 to 65.4 million in 2005. This upward trend in volunteering represents a once-in-a-generation opportunity to tap into Americans' ingenuity, civic mindedness and generosity to build powerful new solutions to old problems in our communities. America needs more mentors saving our children and our country from generations of hopelessness, poverty and prison. We need more people caring for frail elderly, keeping them independent, healthy and out of institutions and despair. We need more college students reaching back into their communities to help other high school students succeed and follow them into college. In short, American communities need more volunteers-and we need them doing meaningful work that solves significant challenges. Although the Corporation is a Federal agency, we long ago realiz~d that the most in1portant work toward building momentum around service actually happens at the state and local levels. That is why we have a strong network of field offices supporting every state, and led by State Office Directors. That is why we fund a State Service Commission in every state and require its members to be appointed by that state's Governor. And, that is why we place such a high priority on supporting volunteer centers and other volunteer infrastructure and networks serving cities and states. NAT'io·NAL & COMMUNITY SERVICEa:c: Volunteering in America : State Trends and Rankings 5 �This report, Volunteering in America: State Trends and Rankings, represents an important milestone in building service and volunteering momentum at the state level. Using first-time-available data funded by the Corporation and collected by the Census Bureau, the report presents an overview of volunteering at the national, regional, and state level - and includes state rankings on important indicators such as volunteering rate and intensity, young adult and college student volunteering rates, and volunteering among seniors. For each state and the District of Columbia, the report contains a two-page state profile displaying information on the number of people volunteering, the volunteering rate, the number of hours volunteered, the primary organizations at which volunteers perform work, and the types C?f activities volunteers perform in each state. This is the first time that this level of detailed information on volunteering has been published for each state. Together with our partners, including volunteer and service-driven organizations across the country, we are committed to working toward a national goal of expanding the number of Americans who volunteer from 65.4 million to 75 million Americans by 2010. We hope this report will be a powerful tool to assist states and communities develop a strategy to increase the level of individual engagement in volunteer activities and build the infrastructure of nonprofits and communities to support more volunteer opportunities. David Eisner '·'1\T'iONAu~ 6 Volunteering in America : St ate Trends and Rankings COMMUNITY SERVICEa.::J: �Introduction The Corporation for National and Community Service (the Corporation), a federal agency established in 1993, strives to engage Americans of all ages and backgrounds in voluntary service opportunities to their communities and country. The Corporation is the nation's largest grant maker supporting national and community service programs and volunteerism. To support their efforts and provide a valuable resource tool for states, the Corporation and its contractor, RTI International, have produced a report on volunteering in the United States. The report presents data on volunteering and volunteers in an easily accessible format that will be useful to people-whether experienced researchers, policy makers, or just concerned citizens-interested in learning more about volunteering in the states. Data in the report were obtained from the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) within the U.S. Department of Labor. At the request of USA Freedom Corps and through the support of the Corporation, the BLS, through the U.S. Census Bureau, has included a "volunteering" supplement in its Current Population Survey (CPS) since 2002. The CPS is a state-based survey administered to approximately 60,000 households nationwide to gather information on employment among the nation's civilian noninstitutionalized population, age 16 or older. CPS data also include demographic characteristics such as age, sex, race, marital status, and educational attainment. NAf'ioNAL&: COMMUNITY SERVICEaD: Volunteering in America : State Trends and Rankings 7 �ORGANIZATION OF THE REPORT This report is divided into four sections. The National and Regional Profiles provide a general overview of volunteering in the United States and the four U.S. Census regions. The State Rankings of Volunteering section con tains maps of the states color-coded into quintiles on the basis of selected volunteering indicators and for subpopulations of special interest. Each map is also accompanied with the volunteer rates or median hours for each state that served as the basis for the state rankings map. The State Profiles provide information on volunteering and volunteers for each of the 50 states and the District of Columbia. The profiles include data on the number of volunteers and the rate of volunteering during 2002 to 2005 and provide the volunteering rate by selected demographic characteristics, the number of hours volunteered annually, the main types of volunteering organizations identified, and the top volunteering activities reported. The final section contains a technical note with information on the data and methodology employed in the report. Detailed national, regional, and state-level tables for the 4-year period (2002 to 2005) are provided on the Internet at www.nationalservice.gov. These tables report the estimated number and rate of volunteers by selected characteristics, volunteers by annual hours of volunteer activities and selected characteristics, volunteers by type of main organization for which the volunteer activities were performed and selected characteristics, types of volunteer activities in that state for the main organization for which activities were performed and selected characteristics, and volunteers by how they became involved with the main organization for which volunteer activities were performed and selected characteristics. NATlONAUS;r 8 Volunteering in America : State Trends and Ranki ngs COMMUN ITY SERVI CEa:c::: �BRIEF HISTORY OF THE CPS SURVEYVOLUNTEER SUPPLEMENT TI1e Volunteering in the United States survey has collected annual, national-leveL and state-level data on the prevalence of volunteering and the characteristics of volunteers since 2002. The September CPS Volunteer Supplement is conducted annually through a partnership between the Corporation, USA Freedom Corps, and United States Census and the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) at the U.S. Department of Labor. The Volunteer Supplement provides information on the total number of individuals in the United States involved in unpaid volunteer activities, measures of the frequency or intensity with which individuals volunteer, types of organizations that facilitate volunteerism, activities in which volunteers participate, and reasons why former volunteers no longer do volunteer work. The Corporation plans to continue to fund the survey to gather important information on volunteering trends in the United States. NATIONAL& COMMUNITY SERV ICEa::rl: Volunteering in America : State Trends and Rankings 9 �National an Regiona r ifiles OVERVIEW The national and regional profiles that follow provide readers an opportunity to examine volunteering at both the national level and the U.S. Census regional level. In these profiles of the Nation, Midwest, Northeast, South, and West, we present a number of key findings on volunteering in the nation and individual regions, including the numbers of volunteers and the volunteering rates for each of the past 4 years. In addition, we present, for 2005, volunteer rates according to demographic characteristics, the distribution of hours volunteered, the types of main organizations at which volunteer activities were performed, and the most common activities performed by volunteers. These data are presented through a series of graphics, a table, and bulleted findings. The first figure- Volunteering in (Nation/Region)-is a vertical bar chart that shows the estimated number of volunteers for each of the 4 years from 2002 to 2005. Population growth should be considered when contemplating trends in the number of volunteers. It is worth noting, as a word of caution, that simple comparisons of numbers of volunteers between regions and years can be misleading because of population differences and adjustments made to sample weights each year. Please see the BLS section of the Technical Note for more information. Additionally, because of the variability of the estimates, caution should be used when interpreting trends and comparing differences NAf'loNAL& 10 Volunteering in America : Sta te Trends and Ran kin gs COMMUNITY SERVICEc::G'J: �between the years because the trend or comparison may not be statistically significant. The second figure-(Nation/Region) Volunteering Rate-also a vertical bar chart, shows the estimated rate of volunteers per 100 noninstitutionalized civilians 16 years of age or older. This rate represents the percentage of the population volunteering and is the most stable basis for year-to-year comparisons. Similar to the first figure, caution should be used when interpreting trends and comparing differences between the yearly estimated rates because the trend or comparison may not be statistically significant. The table- (Nation/Region) Volunteering Rates and Annual Hours per Typical Volunteer, 2005-provides the rates of volunteering across select sociodemographic characteristics for the 2005 time period. The annual hours is the median or mid-point number of hours among persons who volunteered in 2005. Persons who did not report volunteering or provide their intensity of volunteering (in hours) are not counted. The third figure-How Much Time Do People in (Nation/Region) Spend Volunteering?-shows in a horizontal bar graph the intensity of volunteering through the distribution of annual hours per volunteer in 2005. We also provide the median number of hours volunteered annually in the accompanying text bullets for each region . The fourth figure- Where Do People in (Nation/Region) Volunteer?illustrates in a pie chart the distribution of volunteers according to the types of main organizations through which volunteers donated their time in 2005. The main organization is the organization for which the volunteer worked the most hours during the year. The final figure-What Activities Do (Nation/Region) Volunteers Perform?-shows in a horizontal bar graph the distribution of volunteers according to the top six volunteering activities reported in 2005. Individuals could have chosen more than one type of volunteering activity, so these percentages do not total to 100 percent.

Each map presents a single volunteering measure in different shades of the same color. The shades correspond to each state's rank on the particular volunteering measure reported, the darker the shade, the higher the state's ranking. On the opposite page of each map, we also present a table displaying each state along with its rate and ranking for the corresponding volunteering measure. States are listed in order of the highest rate to the lowest rate in each of these tables. In order to increase the reliability of the estimates and ensure more accurate comparisons across states for each of these measures, we used a combined 3 year data file (2003 to 2005). While using 3 years of data increases the reliability of the estimates, caution should still be used when interpreting state rankings as differences between some rankings may not be statistically significant. The six maps are: 1. Volunteering Rates by State. This map provides an overview of the volunteering rates across the states from 2003 to 2005. 2. Volunteering Intensity by State. This map provides an overview of median hours volunteered annually across the states from 2003 to 2005. Half of the volunteers in a state contribute more than the me dian, and half contribute less. 3. Senior Volunteering Rates by State.

NAT·i·o·NAL& COMMUNITY SERV ICEI'X'C': Volunteering in America : State Trends and Rankings 35 �ta e Profiles OVERVIEW The state profiles that follow provide readers an opportunity to examine volunteering at the state level. In these profiles, we present a number of key findings on volunteering in the individual states, including the numbers of volunteers and the volunteering rates for each of the past 4 years. In addition, we present, for the most recent 3-year period, volunteer rates according to demographic characteristics, the distribution of hours volunteered, the types of main organizations at which volunteer activities were performed, and the most common activities performed by volunteers in the state. These data are presented through a series of graphics, a table, and bulleted findings. The first figure- Volunteering in (State)-is a vertical bar chart that shows the estimated number of volunteers for each of the 4 years from 2002 to 2005. Population growth, particularly for states that have experienced higher population growth relative to the national growth rate during the 4-year period, should be considered when contemplating trends in a state in the counts of volunteers. It is worth noting, as a word of caution, that simple comparisons of numbers of volunteers between states can be misleading because of population differences and adjustments made to sample weights each year. Please see the BLS section of the Technical Note for more information. Additionally, because of the variability of the estimates, caution should be used when interpreting trends and comparing differences between the years because the trend or comparison may not be statistically significant. NATIONAL& 36 Volunteering in America : State Trends and Rankings COMMUNITY SERVICEa.Tl: �·The second figure-(State) Volunteering Rate-also a vertical bar chart, shows the estimated rate of volunteers per 100 noninstitutionalized civilians 16 years of age or older. This rate represents the percentage of the population volunreering and is the most stable basis for year-to-year and state-to-state comparisons. Similar to the first figure, caution should be used when interpreting trends and comparing differences between the yearly estimated rates because the trend or comparison may not be statistically significant. The table-(State) Volunteering Rates and Annual Hours per Typical Volunteer, 2003-2005-provides the rates of volunteering and annual hours volunteered across select sociodemographic characteristics for the 2003 to 2005 time period. The annual hours is the median or mid-point number of hours among persons who volunteered in a given year during 2003-2005. Persons who did not report volunteering or provide their intensity of volunteering (in hours) are not counted. For this table and the remaining three figures, we pooled the three most recent years of data to increase our sample sizes and the reliability of findings over what would be possible reporting one year alone. However, estimates of Non-White volunteer rates were not reported for states whose populations of these minorities were very small. The third figure-How Much Time Do People in (State) Spend Volunteering?-shows in a horizontal bar graph the intensity of volunteering through the distribution of annual hours per volunteer during 2003 to 2005. We also provide the median number of hours volunteered annually in the accompanying text bullets for each state. The fourth figure-Where Do People in (State) Volunteer?-illustrates in a pie chart the distribution of volunteers according to the types of main organizations through which volunteers donated their time during 2003 to 2005. The main organization is the organization for which the volunteer worked the most hours during the year. The final figure-What Activities Do (State) Volunteers Perform?shows in a horizontal bar graph the distribution of volunteers according to the top six volunteering activities reported during 2003 to 2005. Individuals could have chosen more than one type of volunteering activity, so these percentages do not total to 100 percent.

OTHER RELATED RESEARCH The following reports can be found in the Research and Policy section at www.nationalservice.gov Highlights from the Youth Helping America Series: • America's youth are engaging in their communities at substantial levels. In 2004, 15.5 million youth aged 12 to 18 volunteered with an organization, contributing over 1.3 billion hours of service. • A youth from a family where at least one parent volunteers is almost twice as likely to volunteer as a youth with no family members who volunteer, and nearly three times as likely to volunteer regularly. • Youth who attend religious services regularly are nearly twice as likely to be regular volunteers as those who do not attend services. 38 percent of youth, an estimated 10.6 million teenagers, have engaged in community service as part of a school activity. • Youth who report current or past participation in high quality service-learning courses are almost three times as likely to believe they can make a great deal of difference in their community than youth who participated in school-based service without any of the quality elements of service-learning. Highlights from Volunteer Mentoring Youth: Implication for Closing the Mentoring Gap: • Mentors prominently volunteer through religious organizations (43%). • Black volunteers are more likely than Caucasian volunteers to mentor youth. • Volunteers 16 to 24 years old are the most likely age group to engage in mentoring. Highlights from Volunteer Management Capacity in America's Charities and Congregations: • 90% of charities and congregations say that volunteers increase the quality of their service, reduce costs, and increase public support for their organization. • Three volunteer management practices produce higher volunteer retention rates, specifically 1) recognition activities, 2) screening and matching volunteers for assignments, and 3) training and professional development for volunteers. These statistics come from Volunteering in America: State Trends and Rankings, released by the Corporation for National and Community Service in June, 2006. Data in the report were obtained from the US Census Bureau and Bureau of Labor Statistics through a "volunteering supplemenr to the Current Population Survey (CPS) from 2002 to 2005. The volunteer supplement to the CPS is administered annually to approximately 60,000 households nationwide. 3 Volunteering in Amer ic a: State Trends and Rank ings Nfi.'T'iONAL& COMMUNITY SERV ICEr::a:z:: � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

VanDam, Acting Executive Director DATE: January 19, 2007 RE: Summary of January 19, 2007 Executive Committee Meeting The following is a summary of the meeting of the Michigan Community Service Commission Executive Committee held via conference call on Friday, January 19, 2007. The meeting was called to order at 10:00 a.m. Members present: Chainnan Dan Mulhern, Rob Collier, Vice-Chair; Russ Mawby, Bernard Parker and Kari Pardoe. Staff present: Paula VanDam and Janice Harvey. Marcy Bishop and Mark Mullaney were present during AmeriCorps funding recommendations discussion. Approval of AmeriCorps Funding (s ee memo dated January 18, 2007 from Paula VanDam) Paula VanDam gave an overview of Michigan's AmeriCorps Competitive New Applications. The CNCS has $55 million to support new competitive grants for the 2007-08 program year. There is no guarantee that the MCSC will receive any of the competitive dollars. We will be notified in May whether any MCSC programs will be funded with competitive dollars. There are also AmeriCorps formula dollars based on the state's population but we haven't received our allotment but anticipate it to be similar to last year $2,723 ,228. The MCSC staff recommends the following applicants be included in the MCSC ' s competitive application package: BHK Child Development Board ($676,407), City Year, Inc. , ($580,744), Communities in Schools Detroit ($327,600), Good Samaritan Ministries ($170,369), Habitat for Humanity ($387,312), Huron Pines ($125 ,805), Jumpstart for Young Children ($142,434), Michigan Department of Agriculture ($172 ,680) Michigan Primary Care Association ($339,410), and MSU Extension ($700,638). This is a total of$3 ,623,399. �Chairman Mulhern asked for a motion to support the staff recommendations for the AmeriCorps Competitive Application. Commissioner Mawby moved to support the motion and Commissioner Pardoe seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously. Paula VanDam explained the second staff recommendation to allow the MSU Extension to modify their match requirement and meet the Year Four match requirement. The MSU Extension is applying for its seventh year of funding and has been asked by the MCSC to consider merging the Mentor Michigan AmeriCorps program, operated by ConnectMichigan Alliance, with their mentoring AmeriCorps program. MSU Extension agreed to take over the program but was concerned about being able to meet the Year 7 match requirements due to the size of the merged program (now 55 members and a budget of$750,000). They requested that we allow them to come in at Year 4 match requirement and then continue to move up the match chart over the next three years . Chairman Mulhern asked for a motion to support the staff recommendations to modify the MSU Extension match requirement. Commissioner Parker moved to support the motion and Commissioner Mawby seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously. Paula VanDam explained the third staff recommendation for the Michigan ' s AmeriCorps Education Award Only Application. Staff recommends funding ConnectMichigan Alliance at $36,000. Chairman Mulhern asked for a motion to support the staff recommendations for the AmeriCorps Education Only Application. Commissioner Mawby moved to support the motion and Commissioner Parker seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously. ConnectMichigan Alliance I Michigan Nonprofit Association Update Commissioner Mawby gave an update on the progress. He shared that the leadership and boards of both organizations are actively engaged and that it is progressing well. The committee is moving into the next phase and will be making a number of recommendations at their next meeting (scheduled for early February). Everyone agrees that the concept is good and are giving careful thought to protecting the endowment. They have recommended the creation of an Endowment Advisory Group, which will work with the new organization and the Capital Region Community Foundation to monitor the use of the funds. They are also looking at a merger of the missions of the organizations, which are very similar. This will create efficiency and momentum in bringing them together. It was also discussed that MNA would be the entity of which CMA would be moved within. The committee will look at the leadership and governance issues at the February meeting. Agenda fo r February 21-22, 2007 Board Meeting and Retreat Paula VanDam went through the agenda for the February retreat and meeting. Commissioners agreed that it will be a full and productive retreat. They suggested that an MCSC staff organization chart and a brief photo and bio of each of the Commissioners would be helpful in getting to know each other better. �Update on Mentor Month Activities Paula VanDam shared the Mentor Michigan will be receiving the proceeds from the Governor' s Inaugural events. The Providers Council members will discuss the use of the funds at their January meeting (possible grants to mentoring organizations). Chairman Mulhern has been attending mentoring events and participating in media interviews promoting mentoring. The meeting was adjourned at 11 :00 am. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

GRANHOLM, Governor MICHIGAN COMMUNITY SERVICE COMMISSION Chairperson Daniel G. Mulhern 1048 Pierpont, Suite 4 Lansing, Michigan 48913 Telephone: (517) 335-4295 F~: (517)373-4977 www.michigan.gov/mcsc Executive Director Janet C. Lawson MEMORANDUM TO: Members of the Michigan Community Service Commission FROM: Paula Kaiser VanDam, Acting Executive Director DATE: February 21, 2007 RE: Executive Director's Report The past few months have been exciting for us. Below please find a review of our most recent accomplishments. National Service FY07 & FYOB National Service Appropriations On February 161h, the President signed into law H.J.Res. 20, which provides funding through September 30, 2007 for projects and activities of the Federal government. The bill includes $884.1 million for the Corporation for National and Community Service and its programs for fiscal year 2007. The Corporation is currently working on the breakdown of the figures for AmeriCorps formula funding. Our Learn and Serve funding is the same as FY06. The President's FY 2008 budget request includes $828 million for national service. This is a reduction of$55.8 million from FY07. Please see the FY08 Budget Request Summary for more detail. AMERJCORPS AmeriCorps Week National AmeriCorps Week is a weeklong event designed to bring more Americans into service, salute AmeriCorps members and alums for their powerful impact, and thank the community partners who make AmeriCorps possible. The first-ever National AmeriCorps Week is scheduled for May 13-20, 2007 and will mark a historic milestone as the 500,000th AmeriCorps member will take the pledge to �"get things done for America." Michigan ' s AmeriCorps programs are proud to be planning significant service projects in order to provide "I 00 Hours of Power" to make a difference in communities around the state. The MCSC is also sponsoring an onsite service project at the Nonprofit SuperConference in Lansing on May 15-16. All conference participants will be asked to volunteer at least 15 minutes of time during the two-day event. A comprehensive list of Michigan's AmeriCorps Week projects and events will be available soon. AmeriCorps Alums AmeriCorps Alums is a national network of civic leaders who are actively engaged in shaping their communities. The mission of AmeriCorps Alums as an organization is to connect, support and mobilize AmeriCorps alums in order to strengthen our communities and our nation. Over the past year, Michigan has established a statewide alums network in addition to regional alums chapters in West Michigan, Northern Michigan, Ann Arbor, and metro Detroit. We are inviting current members, alums, and friends of national service to get connected at www.lifetimeofservice.org. In the next few months, we will be doing additional outreach to Michigan's AmeriCorps alums through a letter of introduction, a newsletter highlighting all Michigan 's AmeriCorps programs, and several outreach events. Our goal is to have all Michigan ' s AmeriCorps members remain engaged and serving communities long after their year of service bas ended. We also hope to have them involved in AmeriCorps week activities. LEARN AND SERVE Urban Service-Learning Initiative In March, the MCSC will offer a round of grants to schools in Detroit. Four grants averaging $10,000 will be available to schools though a peer reviewed application process. Each school will be requested to identify a team of2-5 teachers and administrators who will participate in the initiative. Applicants will be allowed to use the funds for things such as: teacher mini-grants, release time, meeting materials, supplies, transportation and resources. As with other Learn and Serve Michigan funding, the grant must allow individual sites the flexibility to determine the best use of their funds given their unique needs. The Request for Proposals (RFP) will be offered to selected schools identified by organizations such as The League, The Skillman Foundation's Good Schools Resource Center at Marygrove College and Wayne State University. Once selected, school teams will be provided a teacher mentor, on-site professional development and a scholarship to attend the National Urban Service-Learning Conference at Wayne State University. This conference is an event of the National Youth Leadership Council and will be co-sponsored by the MCSC and the MCC. The Institute Service-Learning and Civic Engagement On February 8-9, 2007 nearly 400 K-12 teachers, college faculty and students from ten states attended the 11th Annual Institute: Service-Learning and Civic Engagement. The event was held on the campus of Schoolcraft College in Livonia. Participants could chose from nearly 40 75-minute workshops, four 2 Y2 - hour clinics and 22 roundtable sessions. The event was complimented by the annual Service-Learning and Community Service Award Ceremony and Dinner where the MCSC honored Dr. Gregory Baracy, Superintendent of Wayne-Westland Community Schools, Lowell High School ' s Freshman Center service-learning project, Kari Simon-Pieters, teacher at St. Johns High School, George Mikla, student from L'Anse Creuse High School and Deborah Wagner, Grant Writer at Ionia County Intermediate School District. 2 �STATEWIDE INCLUSION INITIATIVE The MCSC receives funds from the Corporation for the placement, reasonable accommodation, and auxiliary services for members and potential members with disabilities, serving in AmeriCorps State and AmeriCorps National programs. In Michigan, our initiative focuses on the inclusion of individuals with disabilities in all national service programs. We have implemented a Statewide Inclusion Team to help us with this initiative. The mission of Michigan's National & Community Service Statewide Inclusion Team is to promote and support full participation of people with disabilities in all aspects of national service. This is accomplished through collaboration between individuals with disabilities, disability advocacy and service organizations, and Michigan's national service programs. The inclusion team meets bi-monthly and recently developed a strategic plan with the following goals: o o o Promote Michigan's national service programs as an opportunity and a bridge to skill-building, career development, and community integration. Develop ongoing state and local level relationships between stakeholders in the disability and service communities that promote the involvement of people with disabilities in National Service programs. Identify and address local, state and federal policies and practices that present barriers to inclusion and integration in National Service programs. Statewide Service STATE BUDGET The Governor released her budget on February 81h. In FY07 we were awarded $1,255,900 in general funds from the state. These funds go to support the general operation of the commission and also include the $250,000 for the Volunteer Investment Grant. For FY08, the budget proposes $1,308,800 in general funds for MCSC. The additional $52,900 is for the economics for increase in salaries and benefits. Please remember this is only the beginning of the budget process. We will keep you updated as the process progresses. MENTOR MICHIGAN January wrapped up another successful National Mentoring Month for us. This month's activities included a pilot with 211, the Men in Mentoring recruitment Challenge, the Mentor Michigan Corporate Honor Roll launch, participation in some of the Governor's inaugural events, several local mentoring events, and media outreach by the First Gentleman. For additional details please see the 2007 Michigan's Mentoring Month Highlights. We are pleased to announce that we received an additional $100,000 from John Hancock Financial Services to support our recruitment of male mentors. We also received nearly $100,000 from the proceeds of the Governor's Inaugural events. CONNECTMICHIGAN ALLIANCE/MICHIGAN NONPROFIT ASSOCIATION Senior management of the Michigan Nonprofit Association (MNA) and the ConnectMichigan Alliance (CMA) recommended to their respective boards an investigative dialogue toward determining the possible development of closer mission alignment, increased efficiency and assured sustainability 3 �through a merger of the two organizations. A small committee representing all of the Alliance partners has been formed. Janet Lawson and Dr. Russ Mawby have been representing MCSC on the committee. The committee has recommended the merger of the two organizations with CMA being folded under MNA. The Michigan Campus Compact and Volunteer Centers of Michigan will become affiliate organizations under MNA. There would be a separate funding advisory group that will determine bow the proceeds from the endowment will be spent on an annual basis. They are proposing each of the four alliance partners will be equally represented on the funding advisory board. They are still finalizing details related to governance, leadership, stewardship, and organizational culture. They will be presenting the recommendations to their boards the first week of March. 4 � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

The goal of Michigan Learn and Serve is to develop skilled, knowledgeable, personally responsible, and civically active youth. This program is funded by the Corporation for National and Community Service (CNCS) and administered by the Michigan Community Service Commission (MCSC). This report presents the results of the evaluation of service-learning programs supported by MCSC. During the 2005-2006 school year, MCSC worked with 25 grantees to support servicelearning programming throughout the state. RMC Research conducted a statewide evaluation to examine service-learning implementation and its impact on a range of student outcomes. Methods Data were collected using pre-/post-surveys from service-learning and comparison students and surveys administered to service-learning teachers at the end of the school year. The evaluation includes data from: • • • Surveys of236 service-learning participants and 20 comparison students in Grades 3-5; Surveys of640 service-learning participants and 119 comparison students in Grades 6-12; and Surveys of 56 service-learning teachers. Constructs that were measured included school engagement; school attachment; valuing school; community engagement; civic knowledge, skills, and dispositions; service-learning engagement; and service-learning quality. Demographic information, program duration, and data about other program characteristics were also collected. Results Service-learning programming was widely implemented a nd d iverse. Based on reports by grantees, 38,780 students participated in service-learning programs during the 2005-2006 school year. About two thirds of teachers indicated that projects included direct contact with service populations (e.g., providing services such as tutoring or working with senior citizens) and indirect contact with service populations (e.g. , environmental projects, food/clothing drives, or similar projects). About two thirds of teachers indicated that service-learning projects involved expressing an opinion or research. The majority of teachers indicated that some or all servicelearning activities were required. Student and teacher ratings indicated high quality service-learning p rograms. Teacher ratings of service-learning quality were strong across several indicators. Average ratings were highest in the areas of relevance to students, providing challenging activities, and inclusion of a civics component. Ratings were slightly lower for inclusion of an assessment component and RMC Research Corporation , Denver, CO Michigan Learn and Serve Evaluation �involvement of community members and organizations. Student survey ratings also indicated that programs were implemented with high quality. Service-learning activities were closely tied to academic curricula and standards. Teachers indicated that service-learning activities were associated with an average of two subject areas and that an average of two of six activities (i.e., research, project planning, service delivery, reflection, evaluation, and celebration activities) were fully integrated with academic curriculum. Service-learning activities were most frequently associated with social studies and reading/language arts, followed by mathematics and science. Three fourths of teachers reported that service-learning activities were mostly or completely linked with Michigan curriculum frameworks. Service-learning participants demonstrated significant increases in civic knowledge scores and ratings of civic dispositions over time. Among service-learning participants in Grades 3-5, there were statistically significant increases in civic knowledge scores and ratings over time for the items: Students my age can make the world better and I can make a difference in my neighborhood or town. Small, but significant, decreases were found for student ratings of school engagement. While average ratings of community engagement and civic skills were high, these outcomes tended to remain the same over time. There were no significant differences in outcomes for service-learning participants and comparison students. Teachers and students attributed a range of benefits to service-learning. Teachers believed that participation in service-learning helped students develop a range of civic dispositions and skills including increased respect for others, awareness of community issues, and belief that they can make a difference. Teachers were slightly less likely to agree that service-learning had a positive impact on academic performance, school attendance, and discipline referrals. Students identified several areas in which they acquired skills and experience as a result of participating in service-learning. Nearly two thirds of students indicated having acquired work experience, followed by job skills (56%), and career awareness (41 %). Reading skills, writing skills, and tutoring skills were each reported to have been acquired by over one fourth of service-learning participants. Student measures of service-learning engagement and quality were significantly associated with student outcomes. Student ratings of service-learning engagement were significantly and positively associated with measures of school engagement, school attachment, valuing school, civic dispositions, and civic knowledge. Similarly, student ratings of service-learning quality were positively associated with school engagement, school attachment, community engagement, and civic dispositions. Teacher ratings of service-learning quality and other measures of service-learning implementation were not consistently associated with student outcomes. Overall, teacher ratings of quality and service-learning implementation measures did not consistently moderate student outcomes. However, six implementation measures were associated with positive student outcomes: integration with academic curriculum; presence of a civics component; presence of a reflection component; strong subject area connections; a requirement that all students participate; and the total number of weeks students engaged in service-learning activities. Michigan Learn and Serve Evaluation ii RMC Research Corporation , Denver, CO �The intensity and duration of service-learning projects varied substantially by classroom. The average teacher spent about 15% of his/her overall instructional time on service-learning. The average service-learning project lasted 13 weeks, with an average of about four hours per week. While teachers indicated that they spent as much as 90% of their classroom time on service-learning, over one third of teachers indicated that they spent 5% or less. Recommendations 1. Continue to encourage service-learning teachers to implement more intensive servicelearning pt·ojects. 2. Examine aspects of service-learning implementation that were associated with student outcomes. 3. Enhance professional development related to high quality service-learning, with an emphasis on reflective practice, assessment, and involvement of community members and organizations.

To "age out" of the foster care system means youth are discharged to "self' rather than to a family they can count on and call their own. While displaying many resilient and resourceful characteristics, the majority of youth "aging out" are not adequately equipped for life's responsibilities and they lack an essential network of relationships and resources. This collaborative effort between DHS and MSU addresses the need for youth in transition to have one or more caring adults involved in and guiding their transition from foster care to independence. The intention of this pilot initiative is to offer not only mentoring relationships for youth in transition but to train and support mentors to be actively engaged in transition planning and guidance with the youth and their circle of caregivers. This pilot program, a collaboration between the Michigan Department of Human Services, National Governors' Policy Academy on Transitioning Youth, Michigan Youth Opportunities Initiative (MYOI), Michigan State University, MSU Extension Offices and the 4-H Programs, will be delivered to foster youth residing in the MYOI Northern Region which includes the following counties: Alcona, Alpena, Antrim, Benzie, Charlevoix, Cheboygan, Crawford, Emmet, Grand Traverse, Iasco, Kalkaska, Leelanau, Mackinac, Manistee, Missaukee, Montmorency, Ogemaw, Oscoda, Otsego, Presque Isle, Roscommon, and Wexford. It is anticipated that the pilot will provide a model that can be replicated across Michigan at all MYOI sites, positively affecting the lives of the almost 5,800 adolescents (age 14 & older) who reside in Michigan 's foster care system. Proposal This proposal requests support (financial and/or in-kind) from the Michigan Community Service Commission to implement the foster youth mentoring pilot. Program components may include: • • Use of Americorps volunteers utilizing best practice mentoring model, Mentor Michigan ~ Assist in recruiting , training , support and retention of mentors and mentormentee relationships ~ Collaborative planning and oversight with MYOI and MSUE Coordinators Development of sustainability plan ~ Strategic recruitment of mentors targets local businesses, corporations, civic and service organizations, foundations and other funding sources ~ Use of evaluation data to demonstrate efficacy and ease of replication � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Each year AmeriCorps members from all around the state join together for two days of training, teambuilding, and service. By the end of the second day, projects are completed, visibly demonstrating the power of volunteers in action. The project is a partnership with the Michigan Community Service Commission (MCSC), Habitat for Humanity of Michigan, and Habitat for Humanity of SE Michigan. The 2007 Signature Service Project will take place in Detroit on June 6 and 7. Over 200 AmeriCorps members will come together to assist with the landscaping and construction of several homes. The MCSC builds a culture of service by providing vision and resources to strengthen communities through volunteerism. Michigan 's AmeriCorps is similar to a domestic Peace Corps. AmeriCorps programs are housed within nonprofit organizations, schools, and other agencies throughout the state. Individuals, called members, tutor and mentor children, help the homeless, feed the hungry, protect the environment, and more. In an average year, AmeriCorps members help improve the lives of more than 110,000 people and recruit approximately 26,000 volunteers. �To: ConnectMichigan Alliance, Board of Trustees Michigan Nonprofit Association, Board of Trustees From: Strategic Alliance Committee Date: January 31 , 2007 Re: Recommendations of the Strategic Alignment Committee Regarding the Potential Merger between C01mectMichigan Alliance and Michigan Nonprofit Association Cc: Kyle Caldwell, President and CEO, ConnectMichigan Alliance Sam Singh, President and CEO, Michigan Nonprofit Association The Strategic Alliance Committee would like to express its appreciation to the Board of Trustees for the ConnectMichigan Alliance and the Michigan Nonprofit Association, for opportunity help the Michigan Nonprofit Association and ConnectMichigan Alliance think strategically and methodically about the possibility of closer alignment up to and including a merger. At our January 10, 2007 meeting, you discussed that a merger between the CMA and MNA has merit and should proceed. In addition, you instructed the staff to develop a draft reconm1endation for a merger focused on the following principles: • • • • • An alignment or merger process must emphasize a joining and amplification of missions and not solely a merger of organizational structures. Any process of alignment must create a process or structure that can ensure that proceeds of the CMA Endowment and related funds housed at the Capital Region Community Foundation must be expended in line with the intention of the donors. The leadership of the Volunteer Centers of Michigan and Michigan Campus Compact (affiliate organizations) should be consulted and concems appropriately addressed in the merger process. The missions ofMNA and CMA are compatible, but the MNA mission, brand strength, systems and longevity make it best suited to serve and the overarching organizational structure in a merger. The determination of leadership for the merged organization should focus creative solutions and initially be limited to the existing leadership of the two merging organizations . Attached you will find a draft plan that proposes a merger of CMA and MNA with these principles in mind. The plan focuses on four areas: governance, leadership, stewardship, culture. Finally, we have developed a revised timeline for the merger process.
